@LynnMcNair Wishing you all the very best with the next chapter in your career Lynn. You are an incredibly inspiring woman for all of us early learning and childcare folk and your passion and wealth of knowledge has been invaluable to my own practice, thank you for sharing your passion.

Delighted to get sewing underway in my setting, we have been practicing for a while but the Froebel Trust webinar has inspired us. #froebeltrust

@PeteMack82 @Istimrar I really wish that fair pay would be considered for all public sector services! We had to settle for a miserable 5%, we really need better union representation #earlyyears

[Fiona Greaves @FionaGreaves3]

@FroebelTrust @WestrayAlison @DonnaGreenx Watched this today and already shared with my team! Thank you 🌱

[Fiona Greaves @FionaGreaves3]

@ELCScotGov While the thank you is appreciated maybe along with rolling out 1140 you could look at the salaries and pay us what we are worth, making it an equal platform across Scotland. Pay and conditions need to be addressed teachers would never have been treated this way.

@NAEarlyYears @NAllianceScot Could I please have the link?

@LintonLass @DougieClarkTOK Why is the person sitting in the chair wearing one boot and one slipper?

[Fiona Greaves @FionaGreaves3]

@FCLisaMcCabe I still miss this document it had it all, yet simple and straightforward to work with.

@LintonLass Wishing Jane a very happy retirement, delighted to have had the opportunity to meet Jane when she was here in Orkney delivering the Froebel Course 😊

@szwishart Some loose parts - bottle tops, large buttons, etc, paper, writing /mark marking tools, books, and a peedie bag of sand to start things off on this thread.

[Fiona Greaves @FionaGreaves3]

@katecowan Exactly Kate there are lots of positives that could come from this pandemic and as we focus on the renew all of these things need to be held in mind

[Fiona Greaves @FionaGreaves3]

@JamesEdPsych @CaFTeam @FCLisaMcCabe We have this proudly displayed in Kirkwall’s ELC Hub for the last 3 weeks James. Thank you.
